The fact of the matter is that taking the rights of one person in order to "protect" the rights of another is bullshit.

As I said before, this is what all laws do.

Has anyone heard the outcome of the vote?

I agree with ONE exception. I feel for JT Cigaro's... Those that don't smoke, typically don't frequent the place, but I know a lot of people that really enjoyed that place. I don't see how on earth they can survive now. At least Moorhead bars are playing on an even field, which should STIMULATE that economy.

July 1st it takes effect.

I thought JT Cigarro's was the only place exempt from the law...

Via In-Forum.com:

"Measure 3 would have made exceptions for enclosed bars that prohibit patrons under the age of 21, designated areas of truck stops and J.T. Cigarro Tobacco Bar.

About 43 percent of voters supported the measure. It had 6,698 votes in complete but unofficial results."

JT lost 57% to 43%

I feel for JT Cigarro as well. If there was an appeal to allow them to continue as a "Tobacco Bar" I'd be in support of them being able to remain a smoke-allowed environment.

Now I can walk into JT Cigarro to buy my cigars and not have to walk through cigarette smoke! lol

You're too hard on yourself. You haven't seemed too idiotic...yet.

Also glad the tax increase didn't pass.

I don't know how many times I heard some form of "nobody goes to a bar to get healthy" today.

it was a lot, though.
